Ghost kitchen food trailer built as a 16ft commercial production kitchen with stainless steel construction, fire suppression, and delivery-focused design.
Overview: Ghost Kitchen 16ft Food Trailer Built for Delivery-First Operations
This ghost kitchen food trailer is ideal for delivery-only brands, catering operations, and commissary-style food production.
This ghost kitchen 16ft food trailer is a fully enclosed, delivery-focused commercial kitchen designed for operators who need a professional, code-compliant workspace without relying on customer walk-up service. Manufactured by Biz On Wheels, Model BOW1487, this trailer is engineered for ghost kitchen concepts, catering operations, delivery apps, commissary overflow kitchens, and production-style food businesses.
With a stainless steel interior, fire suppression, reliable power, and efficient ventilation, this trailer provides a compact yet powerful platform for daily food production in a mobile or semi-permanent setting.
Trailer Dimensions, Axles, and Structural Design
The trailer measures 16 feet long, 8.5 feet wide, and 8 feet high, offering increased interior headroom compared to standard trailers. This added height improves airflow, accommodates larger equipment, and enhances staff comfort during long prep and cooking sessions.
The trailer rides on dual 5,200 lb axles with electric brakes, delivering strong load capacity, stable towing, and safe transport. This axle configuration supports the weight of full commercial equipment, generator systems, and stainless steel construction while maintaining smooth handling.
The exterior features a screwless, glue-on body with a gloss white skin, chosen for durability, reduced water intrusion, and a clean professional appearance suitable for branding and long-term outdoor placement.
Power System and Climate Control
Power is supplied by a quiet 6.5 kW generator, mounted in a protective cage with a slide-out tray for easy maintenance and service access. This generator is sized to support refrigeration, lighting, ventilation, cooking equipment, and climate control for daily operations.
To maintain a controlled working environment, the trailer includes a 15,000 BTU air conditioning unit, helping regulate interior temperatures and protect ingredients and equipment during continuous operation.
Service Window and Entry Access
While designed primarily for delivery and production, the trailer includes a 60” x 36” serving window with an awning door, allowing flexibility for limited pickup service, inspections, or on-site events. The awning door provides weather protection and additional ventilation when needed.
Staff access is provided through a 30” x 72” entry door with a screen door, allowing airflow while maintaining cleanliness and pest control inside the kitchen.
Interior Construction and Flooring
Inside, the trailer features an all stainless steel interior, including walls and ceiling. Stainless steel is the preferred material for ghost kitchens due to its durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of sanitation. These surfaces support frequent cleaning and strict food safety standards required for delivery-based operations.
The flooring is rubber tread diamond plate, providing slip resistance, durability, and comfort underfoot. This flooring is well suited for high-traffic prep environments where safety and long service hours are a priority.
Cooking, Ventilation, and Fire Safety
Ventilation is handled by a stainless steel hood system with an exhaust fan, designed to manage heat, smoke, and grease from commercial cooking equipment. A fire suppression system is installed, meeting fire department requirements and providing essential protection for continuous operation.
This setup allows the trailer to support a wide range of menu concepts, from hot line cooking to prep-heavy ghost kitchen production.
Plumbing, Sinks, and Sanitation
Sanitation is fully addressed with:
-
Three-compartment sink
-
Dedicated hand-washing sink
These systems support proper washing, rinsing, sanitizing, and hand hygiene. All plumbing is professionally installed to meet health department requirements and support smooth inspections.
Propane System and Equipment
The trailer includes one 100 lb LP propane tank, securely mounted on the back in a dedicated case with an access door. This setup provides reliable fuel for cooking equipment and water heating while maintaining safety and accessibility.
Inside, the kitchen is outfitted with commercial-grade stainless steel equipment, all NSF certified, ensuring durability, food safety, and compliance with commercial kitchen standards.
Graphics, Branding, and Certifications
The trailer is finished with a full-body graphic wrap, allowing complete customization and strong brand visibility even when operating as a delivery-only kitchen.
This ghost kitchen 16ft food trailer is built to commercial standards and includes NSF, ETL, and UL certifications where applicable. These certifications support health inspections, fire approvals, electrical compliance, and insurance requirements.
